This meme was mostly made to rectify forgetting about Corey Jr in my last post, but I kept remembering more characters, so enjoy this absolute mess of fandoms.

Y’all couldn’t even handle Holden Caulfield and Arthur Morgan…

i’m not not a michael apologist because he has fucked up and said some pretty heinous shit and i genuinely do not mind that he died i just wish it was earned.

steven knight should’ve had the michael vs. tommy build throughout series six with it imploding during the film, rather than michael being exiled and imprisoned (again) before being killed.

someone pointed out years ago that knight never bothered to show why michael was a threat to thomas (they just kept saying he was) because he was so insistent on him failing at everything that the audience never believed he could take over the family business. (because knight’s head is so far up thomas’ arse he couldn’t bare to see him fail at the hands of a ‘kid’)

fucking give michael his agency back.

there should’ve been a bigger emphasis on the billy boys as villains because tommy vs. facism was always destined to fail and it killed the show’s momentum.

i just don’t get what the film will do going forward with most of the key supporting characters not present. we have what? arthur, alfie, ada and lizzie? sounds like a riveting film filled with tommy’s “yes men” vs. nazi’s they can’t bloody beat pre-wwii.

there’s no means for internal family conflict with arthur and ada typically being on their brother’s side and i don’t know how much steam knight can get out of a fanfic oc that showed up last minute and most of the general public hated.

(which i know is bloody cheek from me, but i’m not the one creating a bbc drama on the taxpayer’s dime.)

also, don’t get me started on the fact duke’s entire arc is just a speed-run version of michael’s in series two + three.

oh the films gonna focus on charlie? great. i don’t really care because he’s literally been a child for years and has very little discernible character traits outside of ‘grace + tommy’s son’.

I believe in a better world for me and you

What if there was universal peace? All of us know war to be despicable; or, as Grotius seems to put it, repugnant to the law of nature: but we can't deny that in the struggle for life, there will always be winners and losers. And as Bruce Springsteen says, nobody wins unless everybody wins.

Yesterday I wrote, in my own opinion, quite a beautiful piece of writing. Just a lovely piece of reminiscence. Today, I can't do that. You can't be caught in reveries every day; and I am struggling with reality today; in fact, I discovered the quasi-holiness of standing. I don't particularly enjoy standing up, but frankly it is an almost holy act, because staying in bed all day is verily a terrifying thing.

The internet is a place where we can broadcast ourselves. Oh, how much do I find writing to be an entertaining activity to undertake! Perhaps not always, but I have systematized the whole world and I find it all right to read and listen to music - and watch the walls - but I have to write two tweets and one post on Tumblr every day and, well, this way I truly give substance to my life. Yet I am still waiting for the day that I can work at IT all day, or something. I guess I just have to start doing that again someday. Maybe Friday. As I said before, I do have a job: I work for the mail. And yesterday I really thought it'll be good when I get back to work. Oh, it really is a constantly thing. Every day is exactly the same. And now, I am visiting the chess club. This will be a boon for my social life, or my social skills. And I went to the university. I have social skills. Oh, is university just a conversation? Really, it might be. Oh, how nice it is to just shoot the bull with people! However, - I am unsure - this business is basically a wholesome enterprise. Oh, we really have to say something from some kind of cosmic place: like the Ramones. Oh, how great is it to learn: we really do find that we can make sense of the world. And my roommate said the other day our central coherence is our plan for doing things. So we really do discover that Schopenhauer is both supremely right and abjectly wrong.

the realm is so cool

[hotvintagepoll]

this is a poll for a movie that doesn't exist.

It is vintage times. The powers that be have decided to again remake the classic vampire novel Dracula for the screen. in an amazing show of inter-studio solidarity, Hollywood’s most elite hotties are up for the starring roles. the producers know whoever they cast will greatly impact the genre, quality, and tone of the finished film, so they are turning to their wisest voices for guidance.

you are the new casting director for this star-studded epic. choose your players wisely.

Previously cast:

Jonathan Harker—Jimmy Stewart

The Old Woman—Martita Hunt

Count Dracula—Gloria Holden

Mina Murray—Setsuko Hara

Lucy Westenra—Judy Garland

The Three Voluptuous Women—Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, and Lauren Bacall

The Agonized Mother—Mary Philbin (rip)

Dr. Jack Seward—Vincent Price

Quincey P. Morris—Toshiro Mifune

Arthur Holmwood—Sidney Poitier

R.M. Renfield—Conrad Veidt

The Captain of the Demeter—Omar Sharif (rip)

The First Mate of the Demeter—Leonard Nimoy (rip)

Mr. Swales—Ed Wynn (rip)

The Correspondent for The Daily Graph—Ethel Waters

Dracula in dog form—Frank Oz with a puppet

Sister Agatha—Angela Lansbury

Mrs. Westenra—Gladys Cooper

Dracula's solicitors—Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee

Van Helsing is described at length in the novel. He is Dr. Seward's old mentor, possessing "an iron nerve, a temper of the ice-brook, an indomitable resolution, self-command, [....] and the kindliest and truest heart that beats." According to Mina, he is "a man of medium height, strongly built, with his shoulders set back over a broad, deep chest and a neck well balanced on the trunk as the head is on the neck. The poise of the head strikes me at once as indicative of thought and power. The head is noble, well-sized, broad, and large behind the ears. The face, clean-shaven, shows a hard, square chin, a large resolute, mobile mouth, a good-sized nose, rather straight, but with quick, sensitive nostrils, that seem to broaden as the big bushy brows come down and the mouth tightens. The forehead is broad and fine, rising at first almost straight and then sloping back above two bumps or ridges wide apart, such a forehead that the reddish hair cannot possibly tumble over it, but falls naturally back and to the sides. Big, dark blue eyes are set widely apart and are quick and tender or stern with the man's moods." Van Helsing tends to talk through funny stories and bizarre metaphors, is one of the first to consider the supernatural in Lucy's illness, and comes from Amsterdam.

✨Jason Todd's Bookshelf✨

i think it's so interesting to see what books Jason Todd would read/own, so here's my own contribution! some of these are canon* (hence the *), some are popular headcanons and some are my own speculation. i'll probably continue to add to this.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas*

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen*

1984 by George (Wh)Orwell*

The Prince by Machiavelli*

The Complete Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle*

The Art of War by Sun Tzu*

Hamlet*

An additional complete works of William Shakespeare

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka

Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion

Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger

i think Holden Caulfield secretly reminds him of Bruce

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Beloved by Toni Morrison

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The Metamorphosis and The Trial by Franz Kafka

specifically owns a copy that has both of them in there

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

this may be a bit on the nose, but Jason would love a good satire

The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin

Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Hayy ibn Yaqdhan by Ibu Tufail

East of Eden by John Steinbeck

but lowkey he hates it

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

The Stranger by Albert Camus

The Iliad by Homer

The Outsiders by S.E Hinton

i don't see Jason as being a big fantasy/sci-fi guy unless it falls under the magical realism or gothic categories (i.e, Beloved, Frankenstein), however i do think he would jive with Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and (unfortunately) Harlan Ellison

i can also see him jiving with R.F Kuang and i think The Poppy War specifically would be an exception to his usual disinterest in fantasy

i think he maybe also has a stash of paperback Star Wars novels stashed away somewhere

if jason is a theatre kid into adulthood, i think he would be the kind that reads solely straight plays

Fat Ham by James Ijames

Complete Works of Arthur Miller

Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins

he typically avoids stuff that’s so directly about mortality, but this play would really resonate with him and honestly be a healing read

being the hater that he is, he's also hate read at least one Collen Hoover book (and promptly left it in the Batcave to frame Bruce for the crime)
